Nappies made from Bamboo

Bamboo Nappies, like their name suggests are made from the extremely eco friendly material Bamboo. Bamboo is a great eco-friendly material to use in household products, because bamboo is such a fast growing, regenerating raw material. In Nappies made out of Bamboo there are a number of advantages to be had compared to more conventional cotton real nappies,

Advantages

• Bamboo is a natural quick growing eco-friendly material which doesn’t need chemicals for mass production.
• Many people feel Bamboo nappies are softer than cotton nappies, this is of course subjective but you could do worse than buying one to test this theory for yourself.
• Bamboo nappies are ultra absorbent this has been proved, on average bamboo nappies are 60% more absorbent than traditional cotton nappies.
• Bamboo fabric is anti bacterial & has anti-fungal properties

Disadvantages

• Because they are super absorbent they take much longer to dry than traditional cotton nappies.
• Like all real nappies, you have to have the nappy cleaned regardless of the mess (Yuck!)
